[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimF:
I have had no problems using the stock cable on my Laptop and work PC, both are Win 7 32bit. The same cannot be said for my my main home PC which is Win 7 64bit. Neither the stock cable nor an after market cable worked with ADB.

For the 32bit OSes I installed the Kies software and the usb device gets installed correctly. for the 64bit OS, I installed the Kies software but could get the phone to connect correctly. I then tried to install the 64bit drivers that are floating around the web. The 64 bit drivers worked enough to get the phone connected to the PC but when I tried to query "adb devices" the phone would always appear as offline. I've tried several things: install/uninstall drivers and software on the PC, restart the PC and Phone, change cables. Nothing seems to help on Win 7 64bit.

It seems to me that there might be a bug in the 64bit driver, though I have no proof of a bug.

I am going to keep playing with the 64bit OS until i figure it out or get so annoyed a that I just give up.

I'll be using my Win 7 32 bit laptop until I get the 64bit PC to work.

i've been able to install .apk's with my win7 64-bit ADB :O

all i did was install Samsung Kies.

i don't think i've ever had a problem...?

EDIT: i'm using the cable that came with it and no problems yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iLoki:
I'm running win 7 x64 and Kies did the trick for me. I haven't had a single issue connecting my phone since I did that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolesrule:
Justa dding to the anecdotes.

I was having problems with the included cable using the front USB. It would show as Device Offline, also the charging wasn't very strong.

I switched to the onboard USB at the back of the case, and adb worked fine with the included cable.

Looks like I'll be picking up a couple extra USB cables so I won't have to continuously do the desk dive everytime I need to use it somewhere else.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orlandoxpolice:
1. I installed the kies drivers first and it would say offline when i checked the device through the cmd prompt.

2. I then installed the adb drivers and it then said the device was online.

3. i then rooted the phone and went on my way. i then tried it a second time and it said device offline.

4. nothing changed during this time except that i turned off debug mode, changed it to mass storage and plugged it back into the usb to transfer some files.

5. on returning to debug mode it no longer tells me the device is online. i have tried different USB ports as well.

6. i deleted the drivers, and reinstalled and it still says offline.

very frustrating.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orlandoxpolice:
wow. i forgot to try plugging it into another USB port. that worked. sorry about previous post.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalFx2k2:
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit on my laptop,

I installed the samsung 64bit drivers, it was an installer i found on the web, not the kies installer packaged driver one.

i changed my setting on my captivate to Mass Storage.

I mounted usb and everything works, by that I mean i was able to ADB like no tomorrow without any issues.

Then I made the mistake of installing Samsung Kies and that messed up my previous drivers and I wasnt able to ADB to my phone. I had to uninstall Samsung Kies and my phone still wasnt being found I still couldnt ADB.

my solution to fixing was restarted my phone and computer, without my phone connected to USB i re-installed the Samsung 64bit Driver Package, then hooked up my phone made sure Mass Storage was selected and Mounted USB and bam was able to ADB again.

hope this helps! also i have been doing videos helping people with issues with samsung's captivate on youtube, youtube.com/johnnyzappone if anyone wants to check em out, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know and id be happy to release a video!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimF:
I resolved my issues, I plugged the stock cable into one of the rear usb ports and the device is now available on my main PC Win 7 64 bit.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joelpt:
Confirmed this made my device stop appearing as offline with adb.

How it is even possible that the cable prevents (only) adb access on the PC, I have no idea.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madjsp:
I have windows 7 and mac osx and I can use adb with both using the stock USB.

i have debugging active.

lol @ the samsung cable.

i've 2 indentic cables here, one doesn't work. plugged in the other one and this one works...

maby its just a strange issue on windows, next time try to pull out the cable and put in back in then connect your device again this should work.... :s

because earlier the cable just worked fine and now it doesn't.. so good luck xD

New USB Cable

I normally don't post but hats of to the gents who figured out that the usb cable for samsung SUCKS!!! I changed the usb and everything worked as planned. WOW what does that say about Samsung.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flaneur:
Same here, with my HTC Dream. I was using an "unbranded" cable, from one of my usb hdd, and my htc dream was randomly online and offline (mostly offline): with a different cable it's 100% online :)

Thanks for sharing!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHR039:
I had the same problem. Solved by just connecting to the USB from the back of the PC. Connecting to the USB port on front of the PC case gives 'offline' error. I have an ASUS P5B-MX/WiFi i946GZ motherboard. Device is Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant, using manufacturer's USB cable.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acdbx:
same problem with me. switching usb ports works, but the problem comes back. i'm now down to my last port... wtf.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheYar:
Agreed, typically this problem occurs for me any time I use a USB port that isn't wired directly to the motherboard but instead passes through a hub of some sort. This can include using USB ports on a docking station, on the front of a tower, on a peripheral like a monitor or keyboard, on an external USB hub, etc. Finding the computer's "core" usb ports (like on the side of a laptop or on the back of a tower) is key. Not sure how using different cables plays into this but it's probably related somehow.

thanks bro i disconnected internet and it work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TomTcom:
I'm writing to say that so far the cable was the issue. Ironically I used the stock cable on an XP machine with no issues. I have the Fascinate 2.2 Root and so far using a BlackBerry cable, of all things, without issue. This thread helped me. Thanks!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jan_1:
Thanks for your hint, I faced exactly the same problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mabantotski:
I had the same problem with my G2 phone when trying to use the ADB. I installed the HTC Sync USB Driver on my 64bit Vista and when I used the ADB it tells me that my Device was offline. Tried to uninstall and reinstall the HTC Sync Software and it’s still the same. I also, tried to change the USB Cable using my Nokia Phone and it worked for a minute and then the Device went offline again. Then I look closely at my G2’s installed program and I noticed that I have a program called “HTC Sync.” So, I tried to uninstall my Windows HTC Sync programs and just left the HTC USB Drivers and everything works after that. The connection works flawlessly without any issues.

I guess the pre-installed HTC Sync software that came with my HTC G2 and the Windows Vista sync software must be incompatible with each other. The two programs don’t communicate with each other correctly and it is conflicting with the USB Driver.

adb device offline

unplug all devices and close all emulators

on cmd type

adb kill-server

then

adb start server

now plug in your device or start emulator

in cmd type

adb devices

now it's online... i hope

don't forget that in linux you must type ./adb in stead of adb

ADB device offline Android 4.2.2

After upgrading to Android 4.2.2 you need to authenticate your computer to use adb.

This is not supported with older adb versions, so update your SDK or toolkits to at least adb 1.0.30 to make it work.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toutomoutochan:
I tried 3 different cables and it still said Offline, but turning off debugging and plugging it in again worked for me.

And I totally misread your post - I thought you had solved your problem this way. Well, it worked for me and I figured I'd let people know that it might be a valid solution.

I have a T-Mobile HTC Sensation running ICS 4.0 (not rooted).

Playing issues

I am impressed how well this player can play DIVX or Avi movies smoothly, but I think this player has problem playing MP4 or MPEG files that are recorded from other phones. For example I have some collection of MP4 files that I have recorded from my previous windows mobile phone, but when I tried to play them with rockplayer, the sound are so horrible. High pitch and full of noise, very distorted. I thought maybe the files are corrupted, but when I tried to transfer them to my blackberry phone...they just work perfect! SO pretty sure this is the rockplayer issues. I guess this player is NOT yet perfect after all.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrslayer007:
i just received my nexus desk dock and i noticed it was using blue tooth to stream audio,

i cant find anything on connecting a Linux pc to the desktop to stream audio to this thing.

when my pc scans for blue tooth devices it sees it for 1 sec before it disappears.

any thoughts, i just think it would be uber cool if it is possible
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikipirs:
Wait.. so what is that you want to do? Transfer audio from the PC to the phone/dock or from the dock/phone to the PC? The latter is entirely possible, I just don't know how hard it is to achieve it on a Linux machine. On my Windows 7 machine with bluesoleil bluetooth stack, I can transfer music from my phone through my PC to my home audio system without a problem. No dock needed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrslayer007:
i was thinking of streaming audio to the nexus dock from my pc without using my phone.

kinda like how u can stream audio from phone to dock and keep the blue tooth connection.

nothing to do with the phone.

just want to save 50 bucks, and the nexus dock was kinda pricey,
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pikipirs:
Oh I see. I don't have the dock, but I don't see any problem doing this unless the dock deliberately refuses connection with everything but the Nexus one.

You might want to try this with a computer that is known to be able to connect to bluetooth audio devices (like bluetooth headphones).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sajseven:
What's the general consensus between these ROMs?

ChocolateEclair seems to score higher in benchmarking tests, but VillainROM seems to have more of a following behind it.

Which is more stable, and are there any major problems to note with either?

Thanks! :D

PS... Still can't wait for my Hero to arrive. 3Store are being stupid and such, so it's taking a long time for it all to go through, but I'll get there eventually! :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
If I'm not mistaken, chocolateeclair is a vanilla ROM, which means it lacks many of the HTC sense user interface elements. But this also makes it faster, as HTC sense consumes some resources.

VillainROM is a full Sense ROM, so it has all the HTC apps and visuals etc, although it sometimes appears slower on benchmarks.

But either way, if you install SetCPU and overclock to a sensible level, (and even without overclocking), both will be sufficiently fast that you shouldn't feel any sluggishness or lag in either.

I am sure others can clarify the differences beyond my thinking it's vanilla vs. sense
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
I haven't tried ChocolateEclair yet. Though I have to say based upon recent benchmarks I'd love to try it out.

It is true that VillainROM does have a greater following and they also have a developed team working on bug fixes and assistance with any issues which may crop up.

Personally i'd try both if I were you. Spend a week or so on each one and decide then.

As for major problems, you'll have to read up on that. In all honesty there will probably be a few minor issues with each one, it just depends on whether those issues affect you or not. As i said there is no better way to find out than through personal experience.

Enjoy.

Hehe, unfortunately you are mistaken :) VanillaEclair is the vanilla rom made by the same user. ChocolateEclair is his sense alternative, through it also comes with LauncherPro.

I have no idea how he has customized it to be so fast (particularly on boot time) but as I said i'm intrigued.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
LOL. That just proves there's now too many similar sounding ROMs :)

Is it odexed or deodexed? That could be a contributing factor to boot speed, certainly first boot. I know also that VillainROM will zipalign any unaligned apps, which speeds up the ROM in use, but it might slow down boot if you install any unaligned apps which would slow it down in the first place.

But yeah, I think i'm getting pretty badly confused now between roms. Usually roms with eclair in their name are vanilla, dunno why... :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sajseven:
Right okay. So it's really just a case of pick and choose then.

I'm guessing that it's basically choosing between a little bit of speed and a little bit of stability, alongside the differences in feature-sets?

Also, being a complete and utter n00b, could you tell me what "odexed", "deodexed' and "zipalign" mean?

And another, somewhat unrelated question is: how does battery life cope, standard and with a custom ROM? Surely it can't be worse than the damned one-day-only battery in my iPhone.

I'm already impressed by Android, just because of how hackable it is. Can't wait to get started!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BRijpstra:
If I am not mistaking, villainrom has done some nice things to make the rom customisable, for instance control over the sense interface.

In terms of speed and stability on the other hand, VR "loses" from ChocolateEclair (v2.0 by now), which is just blazing fast and stable.

Now ultimately, if Villainrom and ChocolateEclair could date, merry and get children... You would most likely have the unchallenged ultimate Sense rom for the HTC Hero :D.

And ehhh, do you really want to know what those terms mean? It think this link here will help you a lot ;)...

Just applied the invisibleshield and im not too impressed.

First, the front and more so the back covers are too small and the corners of the phone is not covered. Second, the home key cover and camera lens cover are too big, so I avoided the home button cover and stuck the camera lens on by taking off the back cover. Third and finally the tacky feel means its a fingerprint and oil magnet, as I have sweaty hands this is especially annoying.

On the plus side it was relatively easy to put on and remove the bubbles.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
sounds like you got the Full Body "Easy Install" version the Full Body "Maximum protection" version would have covered the corners, and have extended wings that goes up the sides.

Yep definately, it has a good grippy feel and the orange peel effect is reducing :D. Now that ive had it on a few days im warming up to it surprisingly. The best thing is that it adds little thickness and I can just plop it on surfaces without worrying about scratches.
